Abstract Objective Organophosphates (OPs) such as diisopropylfluorophosphate (DFP) and soman are lethal chemical agents that can produce seizures, refractory status epilepticus (SE), brain damage. There few optimal treatments for late or SE. Phenobarbital is a second‐line drug SE, usually after lorazepam, diazepam, midazolam have failed to stop Practically, 40 minutes less often necessary first responders arrive assist in incident. However, it remains unclear whether administration of...
Importance Postoperative radiation therapy for close surgical margins in low- to intermediate-grade salivary carcinomas lacks multi-institutional supportive evidence. Objective To evaluate the oncologic outcomes and with positive margins. Design, Setting, Participants The American Head Neck Society Salivary Gland Section conducted a retrospective cohort study from 2010 2019 at 41 centers. Margins were classified as R0 (negative), R1 (microscopically positive), or R2 (macroscopically...
Objective To examine the impact of pre‐fellowship publications on future research productivity and career placement among head neck (H&N) surgery fellowship graduates. Methods H&N graduates between 2014 2022 were identified from publicly available data. Timing graduation, number during each stage education training, first authorship analyzed for association with scholarly academic placement. Results In our analysis 409 graduates, there was a strong positive correlation year...
Objective To assess the impact of sociodemographic factors on primary treatment choice (surgery vs radiotherapy) in patients with human papillomavirus–associated (HPV+) oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC). Study Design Retrospective analysis National Cancer Database. Setting Data from >1500 Commission institutions (academic and community) via Methods Our sample consists diagnosed HPV+ OPSCC 2010 to 2015. The outcome interest was initial modality: surgery radiation. We performed...
Family medicine residents who graduate from Federally Qualified Health Center-aligned Teaching Center (THC) training residencies are nearly twice as likely to pursue employment in safety-net settings compared with non-THC graduates. This trend has been consistent over the past few years, suggesting that program is fulfilling its mission strengthen primary care underserved settings.
Abstract Objective There is limited data on the impact of clinical‐demographic factors survival outcomes among veterans with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). This study was undertaken to evaluate race other overall (OS) in a population HNSCC treated curative intent. Methods Demographic clinical were collected intent at our institution between 1999 2021. The primary outcome 3‐year OS. Secondary included treatment delay intervals, including time initiation (TTI), total package...
To evaluate how medical students perceive COVID-19 has impacted various otolaryngology educational experiences and appreciate useful adaptations/resources that can be implemented moving forward.
Introduction Prolonged treatment with sedatives such as dexmedetomidine or propofol is common in the critically ill patient, yet their differential impact on immune cell metabolism, specifically, mitochondrial function, remains to be elucidated. Here we hypothesize that and differentially human function. Material Methods Blood was drawn from healthy male female donors peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated treated at concentrations achieved plasma. Intralipid used control...
Abstract The stay‐suture technique (SST) helps ensure safe replacement of the tracheostomy tube after accidental decannulation. We describe a patient found to have retained stay suture in glottis 2 weeks post‐decannulation. It is important appreciate possible complications associated with SST, including airway compromise, infection, and laryngospasm.
Introduction There has been a notable increase in the number of neonates born 28 weeks gestational age or younger United States. Many these patients require tracheostomy early life and subsequent laryngotracheal reconstruction (LTR). Although extremely premature infants often undergo LTR, there is no known study to date examining their post‐surgical outcomes. Objectives To compare decannulation rates, time complication rates between LTR those preterm term. Methods We identified 179 treated...
